Description
General Kwai's monster. Guan Yu dominates the battlefield as it's able to fire at both ground units and aircraft.
"Guan Yu" is also known as "Shaitan" from previous Contra versions.
You can compare it with the old Shaitan: Media.moddb.com
Some improvements have been made. Look here:

Holy Cow!
moo!
Do I see a little inspiration from RA3's Apocalypse tank?
It does look a little cartoon-ish.
It's an improved version of the Shaitan from previous Contra versions.
Because they both look like toys
Looks more like some kind of AA gattling tank. No, really, please not this way.
Rather then u, i actully like this, CHINA HAS ALOT OF BIG GUNS, WHAT MORE BIG THEN AN EVEN BIGGER GUN!
This tank is the definition for "supreme firepower" :O
it's good butit has something from the ra3 units. Don't go that way please.
like =СРБ=Ori`verda said something cartoon-ish.
Agreed. I personally like the old one much more. RA3 graphic is something disgusting in my opinion.
Thought I dont agree with you that RA3 cartoonish graphics is bad, it dont fits in here. I really liked the previous Shaitain. It looked more realistic than this, even it had 4-barreled 125mm guns
Iv always liked the cartoon-ish look, kinda of a gummy look to it. looks amazing
awsome very cool
great work
sexy look
pew pew pew pew pew pew :D
Once again, you guys made some wonderfull models for the game :).
I'm always impressed!
I hope it can squash some Overlords and Emperors! >:)
I guess you want the same function - low range, insanely heavy armor and overgunned unit.
If you take chassis from new Emperor and make a turret with one set of guns in it's center (so the result will look like oversized gattling tank), this may look good, what do you say? And also it won't be so much work.
Epic!
BEST MOD strikes back!! ^^
I don't know how to feel about this particular vehicle. It seems slightly unrealistic and cartoony. I think you could change the turret to make seem more realistic. I don't know. It bugs me a little.
The only cartoonish thing about it is the oversized guns (which should really be reduced in diameter), but the chassie and the turret actually look very cool and futuristic.
mother of god... i effing wanna drive these things!!
lonestar: "IT CAN ATTACK AIR UNITS TOO???? THAT'S JUST UNFAIR!"
Pizza the Hutt: UNFAIR TO THE PAYOR BUT NOT TO THE PAYEE!
SWEEEEEEEET!
I'll miss you...Shaitan :(
If it was less rounded it would look better
I preface this by saying Contra is your free mod and you can do what you want to with it, by God.
But personally, I hate this unit skin. Looks goofy and cartoony. The old Shaitan is by far the best OP unit in the game and this just makes me want to hit it with a kickball.
no offense, but I agree that this is nothing compared to the old one. Frankly, I'm shocked. Normally your models are crisp, clean and defined... Not... this, whatever this is...
We hear your complaints about Guan Yu looking cartoonish and being too rounded, so we decided to make some changes to the treads. They create a cartoony illusion. They won't be rounded.
Well I think the guns should get some sort of revamp as well, because I liked the guns on the Shaitan better.
We will experiment and make something less cartoonish.
Not just the treads! the model! Look, I love your work, but this is beneath you guys! Your models where sharp, crisp, awesome! not bubbles
An Abominable Shaitan + Apocalypse + Gattling + Overlord Tank!! AWESOME!!! And Cool
I might agree with the statement above. It looks a little too chubby. Seems like it doesn't have that "BEASTLY" appearance for a tank this epic.
Still, I like the design though
make it longer!!!
We are discussing it. Some changes have been made already.
I found that most of the tracked vehicles, its tracks doesn't rotate same speed as it moves over the ground. It looks like the vehicles slide faster than the tracks rotating. Are you fixing it?
Contra is not a mod about realism. And remember that this will also change the gameplay and balance. Units with tracks will become slower than units with wheels.
maybe reduce the number of barrels to four like the previous shaitan, widen the treads a bit and raise the suspension height? it does seem like it can't handle a small bump.
mother of tanks
can you post the revised one?
It will probably appear in one of our official Beta screenshots. It's still being adjusted.
When I play contra 007 challenge mode nuke vs tank, when I captured reinforcement pads, two tanks and a irradiator drops. Then one of the tank arrive at the rally point but the other two are stuck on the pad and won't move until ordered manually. Why? And also when I attack enemy Shaitan, the super tank, with neutron weapons, it didn't work. The shaitan won't lose the driver. Why?
The Reinforcement Pad bug is well-known. It doesn't occur only in Tank Challenge map. Neutron weapons and GLA snipers can't kill crew inside super units.
i think it looked good liek this. i dont see any cartoony bits at all. i like how the turrets where seperate in the old version but this one was just fine. it doesnt look cartoony. it has round edges but round doenst mean cartoon...
does shells that tank will be too heavy to move
What the RA3 apocalypse wish it was, this thing looks kickass
